Ok, it is 9:00 west coast time on monday and still no sign of the cowclops v2.

I assumed that all the seeders were east coasters and I would wake up and there it would be.

This is my christmas.

But seriously, do we have time frame for the release today? I just need to know so I can make sure to be home and ready.

Thanks for all the hard work guys.

Actually, as one of the seeders waiting for the torrent to be posted, I'm a west coaster

Unfortunately, assuming the torrent is posted before 2pm, I won't be able to seed until after that time since I'm at work until about 1pm and then I have to go by school for some things.

I'm also one of the seeders for the Myspleen torrent and upon trying to copy the VIDEO_TS folder to my torrent DIR I was greeted with the dreaded Data Error Cyclic Redundancy Check. I'm running CDCheck on it right now to see if there's anything I can do but if worse comes to worse I'll join the torrent, download the piece I'm missing (VTS_01_4 and 01_5.vob, total size 1.08GB) and then seed until the cows come home.

If anyone can think of something better for me to do please let me know, I'm really honored to be helping out this community and I appreciate Rikter's generosity in sending me these discs so much, I'll do anything within my power to seed the crap out of these!

*edit*

I've tried CDCheck's "recover" feature on all the files that were having data cyclic redundancy errors but to no avail, I honestly don't know what the problem is because I've watched this on my standalone DVD player and it worked great, never even a hiccup! Stupid, stupid DVD drive!

Even though it may not help, have you tried a different DVD drive or even a different computer and then copying the files over a network to the computer you're using to seed?

I wish I could but there's no other (working) computers in the house. Your suggestion has given me the idea though that instead of wasting the time of the other seeders downloading my files from them I should try some alternatives, maybe I can get a friend to bring over their computer or just borrow their DVD-ROM and temporarily install it in mine.
Thanks for the thought lordjedi.

HumpMeObiWan - Skip the ANH and try the ESB for now!

SO sorry about that!! - I burned all the discs at 8x for this batch on two drives at once (I found that 1 in every 1--15 discs burned via USB might have CRC errors - I figure it's because of the USB writer at 8x as I've very rarely had issues at 4x)

Hahaha, of COURSE I'm out driving my Dad to the airport when the seeding starts! Anyway I'm copying ESB to the hard drive right now and once that's finished I'll start up that torrent. Btw no need to apologize regarding the discs, I'm not one to complain about something given to me for free from someone who has been so amazingly generous with the OT community. I should've just assumed to move on to ESB but I was working from info obtain from an earlier post that said you were doing ANH on Monday, ESB on Wednesday and ROTJ on Friday. So of course I got all freaked out and was hell-bent on this "Must get ANH on my hard drive SOMEHOW" mission, hehe.

The very best of luck Rikter on your much deserved sabbatical far away from this little corner of the galaxy, I wish your family and your projects lots of success, because frankly you've earned it.

*edit*

I'm starting to think something's wrong on my end because I tried copying ESB and yet again a CRC error, but what's strange is that it's on the exact same VOB as ANH. Anyway what I ended up doing was connecting to the ESB torrent with 73.8% done and trying to get the rest of it that way while uploading what I have (which it seems to be doing very well). I'm gonna try to get over to one of my friend's houses and try the disc on their computer to see if it works there, if it does then I'll go from there. Anyway sorry for all this needless information in a thread that it's not even fully intended for (we should be talking more about the actual transfer, I know) but there's a lot of people out there who are craving this disc and I'm feeling pretty useless right now and just wanted to explain why. Hopefully this will all work itself out soon, and I know my fellow seeders will pick up the slack for me and ultimately I'll be seeding this set for a good long while.

My apologies... I've been busy today, but I'm working on getting Empire ready for seeding. I should be done and upping at 30 kb/s within the hour.

Also, a recommendation to all downloaders:

Do NOT download the movies in order. If you download them out of order, we'll get seeders spread around more evenly and make downloads speedier for everyone (in theory, at least, heh).

Knolly I was thinking the same thing about the seeding/leaching.

Oh... CRAP.

Long story short: Because my ratio on myspleen sucks (part of the reason why I chose to seed this), I can't seed for 24 hours...
Sorry Rikter... But I'll leave my BT open so even if I'm away (which is likely), it'll start seeding as soon as it can.

It won't let you do the very thing you need to do to improve your ratio? Weird.

According to the FAQ there used to be a no-delay for seeders, but people somehow abused it, so it doesn't work anymore...

I got the 48 hour delay thing too, but I was still able to seed for a few hours earlier. I just switched to Azureus and for some reason when I have it on, it severely slows down my internet connection for sites and other downloads. Since I'm trying to d/l ESB from the newsgroup, I'm going to put off seeding again until I'm done.

You dick! You *promised* that you'd u/l them yesterday!

Seriously, THANK YOU for up-ing them. And THANKS to Cowclops,
TR47, Rikter, and everyone else involved. It's awesome seeing these
movies as I did in '77/'80'/83.

Just read on myspleen that Rik had a private viewing of cowclops2 ESB and the demo disc with other OT fans. They rated 7 transfers and cowclops2 came in #6, as in next to last, ahead of only the quality broth set. This seems hard to believe after months of reading this thread and looking forward to this set. I don't have the discs yet. Any comments, concerns?

You can go about your business. Move along, move along.

Yes I wanted to post jedi right a way but Rikter need me to help seed. So it will be up in three hours, after which the Rowman Sup. Disc will be posted.

I noticed that too. Aside from the THX logo going off the side of the screen (I've read the explanation and I really don't care, none of my other DVDs do that, so I don't think this one should either), I see no glaring problems with it. Of course, I'm no videophile either.
